GARNIENT WRAPRING AND HANGING FORM.

Application filed January 28,1924:` Serial' No. 688,957.

To all whom 'it may concern.'

Bo it known v thatI, BERNARD CAHN, a citizen of 4the United States, residing. at Sacramento, county of Sacramento, State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment Wrapping and Hanging Forms; and 'I do declareV the -i'ollo'wing tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the characters of reference marked thereon, which ticularly intended to be primarily used in connection with a wrapping stand ofthe type shown in my copending application filed `September 17th,1923,.Serial'No. 663,-. 214, while the form itself represents ran iinpioveinent over the form or wrapping board .shown in connection with said' stand, in that the construction is greatly simplied, and hence rendered less rexpensive to make, while at the same time its efficiency in Operation is not lessened, nor the ability of the gar-- `ment hanging member of the device to give good service for a reasonable length of time.

In the drawings similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views:

Fig. 1 is a perspective outline of my wrapping stand, showing my improved two-piece wrapping and hanging device mounted in connection therewith.

Fig. 2 is a perspectiveview of the wrapping board alone.

Fig.v 3 is a perspective view of the hanging member alone, detached from the board.

Referring now more particularly to the characters of reference on the drawings, the numeral 1 denotes one piece of my combined wrapping and hangingr form, which consists of a flat rectangular piece of cardboard or the like, sufficiently thick to have considerable inherent rigidity.

Corner projections 2 are formed with the board at the opposite ends thereof and extend belowV said ends, forming guides or keepers for a garment when wrapped around the board from end to end.

The side edges of the board, centrallyof its length, are slotted or cut away as at 3 for a certain length and depth, to receive the supportingclips 4 turnably mounted on the opposed vertical posts A5 of the Wrapping stand, which `forms no part of this inven` tion.

Centrally'of the width of the board l and a lshort distance from its upper end is a round'orifice G, a vertical slit 7 being cut through the board from said orifice to the adjacentend edge of the board.

The hanger piece of my form comprises a fiat cardboard member 8, substantially the same width as the board 1 between the side slots 3, but of considerably lesser depth than said board.

VA transverse slot 9, closed at both ends, and of suitable height and length, is cut through Vthe member 8. The latter has a centrally disposed neck l() of a width less than the diameter of the board orifice 6, and having at its upper end a transverse head 110i. greater length than the diameter of saidorifice. The upper edge of the body, on both sides of the neck, is preferably cut with a reverse curve in the form of a conven-concave wave, from the side edges to the neck as shown, so as to aid insupporting a garment thereon and tending to prevent the sainer from slipping. The lower corners of the member 8 are also preferably rounded oii', so that there is nothing to catch in the finest goods.

A loop of tape, string or the like 12 of suitable length, is attached to the neck 10 under the head, in order that the member 8 may be supported from a hook or the like when detached from the board 1 and used as a garment hanger alone.

The member 8 and parts incorporated therewith are cut from a single piece of heavy cardboard or the like of a thickness such that said member will have inherent rigidity and strength throughout like the board l, while capable of flexing somewhat.

To mount the hanger` 8 with the board l,

the latter is sprung along the slit 7 suffixedgewise therethrough until said neck passes into the hole 6.

The member 8 may then be given a quarter-turn iso as to lie parallel tothe board 1 on one Side of the same, while the head.

ll will be on the opposite side of the board, and being wider than the hole 6, will of course hold the member S in position on the board and prevent the same from undesired separation. At the same time, the hanger may be raised from the board, and rotated relative thereto, while still maintaining said hanger mounted on the board, both these operations being necessary in connection with the garment folding and wrapping operations, which do not need to be gone into here.

wWhen the board l has served its purpose and it is desired to utilize the hanger 8 alone, the edges of the slit 7 are sprung apart as before, and the neck l0 passed through the opening therebetween.

From the foregoing description it will be readily seen that I have produced such a device as substantially 'fulfills the objects of the invention as set forth herein.

Thile this specilication sets forth in detail the present and preferred construction of the device, still in practice such deviations from such detail may be resorted to as do not form a departure from the spirit of the invention, as defined by the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and useful and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. A garment wrapping and hanging form including a iiat wrapping element having an orifice near one end, a hanger to normally lie against the wrapper element, a neck on the hanger projecting through and free for vertical swinging and unlimited rotative movement within the orifice, and a head on the outer end of the neck eX- tending across the orifice to normally prevent retraction of the neck through said orice.

2. A garment wrapping and hanging form including a Hat wrapping element having on orifice near one end, a hanger to normally lie against the wrapper element, a neck on the hanger projecting through and freely rotatable within the orifice, a member on the outer end of the neck to normally prevent retraction of the neck through the orifice and means whereby the neck may be inserted into or removed from the orifice at will without distorting said member or altering its setting relative to the neck to do so.

3. A combined garment wrapping and hanging form comprising a wrapping board, having an oriice therethrough, a hanger having a neck to freely pass through said orifice and a head on said neck of greater width than said orilice, the board from the orifice to an adjacent outer edge being slit, and the edges of said slit being adapted to be sprung apart a distance to enable the thickness of the neck to pass therebetween.

4. A garment wrapping and hanging form including a flat wrapping element having an orilice therethrough, and a hanger adapted to lie substantially liat against the wrapping element a neck on the hanger to project through the orifice, and a cross-head on the neck normally preventing retraction of the neck. through the orifice; said hanger neck and cross-head being integrally formed from a single blank of material and lying in a common plane.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature.

BERNARD CAHN.
